Title: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by KVD on 02/02/20 at 02:21:57 A few of us have been talking about setting up an SMK speedrunning tournament along the same vein as the MKDD and MK64 ones that have been held recently.* For season 1, we decided to go with an NTSC GP speedrunning tournament that will have a relatively fast paced structure (as to not overlap with PAL CDM preparation too much). We will still be trying things out and aim to be as appealing to recruits from outside the community as possible. The various re-releases of SMK will be allowed for participation (nearly all of those are NTSC). The tournament will be hosted by SpeedGaming. This means they will help promote us (also during the sign-up period) and their platform will be used to broadcast the matches. Though technically everyone will stream their own matches, the feeds will be restreamed and commentated on the SpeedGaming Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/speedgaming Match schedule: http://speedgaming.org/smk/ Sign-up link: https://forms.gle/dVe4dLi4am2W6bj96 Sign-ups are now closed! Challonge domain link: https://challonge.com/smkspeedgamingseason1 Discord (to meet for matches): https://discord.gg/0T7oGr0RrwPLEc2O Go to #smk-tournament channel Stats & VODS of previous matches: shorturl.at/yBDRS I have taken the following from the Pastebin that Lafungo wrote (https://pastebin.com/jQJ38kjf) : Quote: General: - Anyone is allowed to participate. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/dVe4dLi4am2W6bj96 - Signups are open until February 13 at 23:59 CET (will potentially be extended). - Streaming is required. Matches will be restreamed with commentary on one of the SpeedGaming Twitch channels. - Participants are expected to play one or two matches a week. Game rules: - Any official (NTSC) release of the game is permitted, as well as SNES emulators that are generally accepted for speedruns (such as SNES9x v1.51+ and BSNES). - Participants must play GP150cc in 1P mode. - Any character is allowed. - NBT is allowed. - Item usage is allowed. - Lapskips (manipulating the finish line trigger) are banned, with the exception of using a mushroom or feather to trigger the finish line OoB, which is only allowed on lap 5. Tournament rules: - The entire tournament will be a double-elimination bracket. This means that a player is eliminated after losing two matches. - Players will be seeded based on their GP (https://www.speedrun.com/smk / http://smkgp150cc.com/) and TT (http://www.mariokartplayers.com/smk/) rankings. - Once a match pairing has been established, players will generally have until the end of the following week (Sunday night) to play their match. This deadline will be enforced more strictly for Losers Bracket matches, as they are the main bottleneck in this format. - A break is planned for the weekend of March 14-15, as the American SMK Championship is scheduled on those dates. (See https://twitter.com/officialasmkc for more info.) Match rules: Match rules: - Every match will be a first-to-three (best-of-5). - Each point is decided based on the fastest completion of a single cup. - The timing for each cup starts at menu activation (pressing B on the title screen) and ends upon crossing the finish line of the last track of the cup. - Players are allowed to prepare their menus before starting a cup. - At the start of a match, the lower-seeded player removes one cup from the pool. The higher-seeded player then picks one of the three remaining cups to be played first. - The loser of the first cup picks which of the two remaining cups to play second. - The remaining cup is played third. - If necessary, the cup removed by the lower-seeded player is played fourth. - If necessary, the winner of the previous cup bans one cup. The loser of the previous cup then picks one of the other three cups to be played fifth. List of signed up participants (to be updated daily): -Lafungo -KVD -Jarmou -Hattok -Firewaster -DangerMoll -dan__h -YorkshireSMK (Chris) -Bowserkart44 (Dave) -McNuggets (Paul) -Masterpie9 (Aron) -Flanders -Zarkov List of commentators (more are always welcome!): -DangerMoll -Lafungo -Firewaster -KVD -dan__h -Sargoth -Zarkov That's it, looking forward to see as many sign-ups as we can, so spread the word people! Please Retweet this (if you can): https://twitter.com/KarelvanD/status/1223915745635192833 *MK64 finals will be today (at the time of writing) I believe.

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by Dan H on 02/02/20 at 08:56:36 add me for comm, Karel

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by Dave Smith on 02/02/20 at 12:48:10 Add me to the list to compete. Not sure what time we will be expected to race but I am limited to 5pm and 8pm central time. Going to have to get my OBS reconfigured to stream.

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by KVD on 02/03/20 at 05:12:17 Cool dan, done! We'll have to figure out what times work for each match, I'm sure we will find solutions for all of them. We also want to get some Exhibition matches done during the sign-up period, so raise hands if you want in on those. Ideally we want players from all levels represented, as to not intimidate newcomers too much.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by Sargoth on 02/06/20 at 09:38:05 I suppose I could spit some words if need be. I would kinda like to participate, but cant commit to that in any way, shape or form atm, sadly.

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by KVD on 02/11/20 at 01:58:55 The exhibition was a great success, thanks to everyone involved!  8-) Especially to Lafungo for non-stop top tier commentary and the SpeedGaming crew for being so patient with our technical prowess.  [smiley=engel017.gif] The videos are already up on YouTube! Jarmou vs Firewaster: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZdBhyhzdEE[/media] KVD vs MD_Neo: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPD3iKsI0TY[/media] McNuggets vs YorkshireSMK: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQFxy07JAhA[/media] dan__h vs BowserKart44: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZupEAh-ZZM[/media]

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by Mango Man on 02/11/20 at 03:29:23 I havent watched all 4 videos yet, but the first video was very entertaining and the commentary was really nice too. Well done to all the organizers, commentators, and players :). Also that start to the race  [smiley=lolk.gif]

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by Firewaster on 02/11/20 at 05:29:39 I did that just for the sake of comedy

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by KVD on 02/12/20 at 11:55:05 Quick announcement for everyone participating in the tournament: as mentioned previously, seeding will be based on a single streamed (no reset) All Cups (1P) attempt. To that end, we will be doing a race this Sunday, February 16 at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT / 3 PM EST). If you are not available at that time, you are free to do your attempt any time before the end of the week, as long as your run is clearly indicated as being your one seeding attempt prior to starting it. Please also give us a heads up so we can tune in to your stream! Thanks and have fun!

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by KVD on 02/17/20 at 04:31:16 Relaying Lafungo's message on Discord: "The bracket has now been finalized, and the first match pairings are ready! Please get in touch with your opponent and agree on a date/time to play your match by next Sunday (February 23). If you have any issues/questions, please contact me or KVD. https://challonge.com/smkspeedgamingseason1 The opening matches are: WR1: @Hattok vs. @flanders WR2: @dan__h vs. @Firewaster DeaconEricson vs. @SparksF1 @TheLegend45 vs. @Zarkov @Lafungo vs. @Hahaae @Jarmou vs. @YorkshireSMK BattMallard vs. @Harry Yack @moll vs. Masterpie9" Please contact Lafungo and/or me before arranging a match, or better still post a match date in the #smk-tournament channel in Abney's MK Discord server. We want each match to be on the SpeedGaming channel and need to arrange commentators, so a few days heads-up is welcome.  :D

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by KVD on 02/23/20 at 14:43:41 shorturl.at/qSVZ5 Planning to update this regurarly, though I have a bit of a backlog to start off with.  :D

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by KVD on 02/24/20 at 07:33:35 Copying Lafungo's post from the Discord. All the opening matches have concluded! It's time for the next round of matches, to be played by this Sunday (March 1): Winners Round 2: @KVD vs. @Hattok Winners Quarters: (@Firewaster is waiting for the winner of KVD vs. Hattok) DeaconEricson vs. @Zarkov @Lafungo vs. @Jarmou @BattMallard87 vs. @moll Losers Round 1: @Aron Langerak vs. @flanders Losers Round 2: (@Dan Farrimond is waiting for the winner of Aron vs. flanders) @YorkshireSMK vs. @Hahaae @TheLegend45 vs. @SparksF1 (@dan__h is waiting for the loser of KVD vs. Hattok) If you can't meet the deadline, please let us know ASAP so we can figure things out. If possible, it would be nice for KVD vs. Hattok and Aron vs. flanders to happen early enough in the week that those involved can play a second match this week (to avoid lagging their parts of the bracket behind too much).

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by KVD on 02/27/20 at 02:16:17 All matches of the first round of the tournament have been stat checked now: shorturl.at/BEFK0 A small overview (remember to submit those to speedrun.com/smk when applicable people!): EDIT: apparently quite a few people started from the wrong position (and/or screen) in the menu, so sadly not all of them will be eligible for SRC charts. Reminder that you should be starting each round on the title screen: timer starts at the same time you press B to make the "1P / 2P Game" menu appear. You can avoid getting trolled by the demo video by keeping the menu active until the countdown starts, at which point you can safely back out and begin normally.

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by Dan H on 02/27/20 at 22:19:49 I hadn't realized just how close every single game was between me and Guilherme (except Star Cup of course). A total of 7 seconds difference over four rounds is pretty nuts. I really only remember Special Cup and crashing a hairpin on MC3 in the deciding round.

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by KVD on 02/28/20 at 01:57:24 Yep, an instant classic right at the start of the tournament!  [smiley=ninja.gif]

Title: Re: SMK SpeedGaming Tournament Season 1 Post by Antistar on 03/27/20 at 05:28:55 I'll check if I can connect my Nintendo Switch to my computer with my Avermedia capture device. If so, I will consider attending Season 2 from the SNES "emulator" included in the console thanks to Nintendo Switch Online…
